Story

Looking at the overlap in our lives you'd think we should have met much much sooner. Both of us spending our summers in beautiful Green Lake, attending neighboring schools and a significant overlap between friends and family, however we weren't introduced until 2019! Our mutual and dear dear friend Mal Davis knew from the onset that this was a match that NEEDED to happen! When Elise moved back from Nashville after her Veterinary internship Mal wasted no time in setting the stage. Mal was putting on an event in Milwaukee with the evening being capped off by a performance by legendary EDM artist, Steve Aoki. The plan was for all of us to meet at Wyn's apartment and go to the concert together. As the time grew nearer suddenly Mal had responsibilities at the venue and it would just be Elise and Wyn going to the concert and meeting everyone there. The night was filled with verbose conversation, deep laughs and good music. It was clear to Wyn by the end of the night that Mal was right, this was a match that needed to happen. The next day Wyn called Elise to ask her on a proper date and the rest is history!

Tidbits

How did you first meet?

See Our Story!

Who made the first move? How?

The day after we first met, well the hangovers were immense! That being said as it sank in how much fun they had Wyn called Elise to ask her on a proper date. As he said that night, "you call about important things".

What's your favorite activity together?

Boating. Getting out on the water is both of our happy places and being able to share that together is very special.

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

While nothing has been booked we are looking at Greece & Turkey.

A life goal of ours

To be happy, healthy and successful. Keep as much fun and all of you in our lives as possible.

The most spontaneous thing we’ve done

Skinny dipping in lake Michigan

We are regulars at

McKinley Marina. During the summer months we enjoy getting out on the water as often as the weather will allow us!

We take pride in

The amazing families and friends that we have. It's a privilege to have the love and support we feel from all of you and we appreciate every bit of it.

How did you propose?

Since much of their relationship blossomed on the water Wyn wanted to have a special night out on the lake to pop the question. The stars aligned when a slip that had previously been reserved became available at the Lake Shore State Park in downtown Milwaukee on the opening night of Summerfest and the Big Bang fireworks! The evening started like any other, with a cocktail cruise up the Milwaukee river with a well packed cooler and gorgeous weather. When they got to the slip and got settled in to watch the sunset, take in the music and fireworks everything again seemed like any other night. When the sun began to go down and the sun was just right Wyn asked Elise to check something on the bow of the boat (dubious excuse at best) and when she turned around he was on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of their lives together. Thankfully, she said yes!
